The project is a commendable use of a publicly owned site to deliver the following:

  • Much needed high quality new homes in Lewisham;
  • A range of additional benefits for the local community including a new surgery, community facilities and publicly accessible gardens;
  • Provide an exemplar private rented development that can be held up as best practice by the council in a borough where 25% of the residents currently rent privately;
  • Provide longer-term tenancies to give greater stability to renters;
  • Provide a high quality property management and maintenance service;
  • Provide properties which are let at affordable rents linked to local incomes.
